Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg can fight at Colosseum, Italian government says

Threads is making a big change as it continues to grow exponentially as an alternative to Twitter. Instagram boss Adam Mosseri took to the micro-blogging platform to announce that they would be implementing rate limits to combat bots.

Elon Musk has taken his rivalry with Mark Zuckerberg too far.

Elon Musk is threatening to sue Mark Zuckerberg‘s Meta over the launch of the company’s new social media platform Threads.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor The battle between Elon Musk’s Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta over the launch of Instagram’s Twitter rival Threads has taken a legal turn. On Wednesday, Meta’s Instagram debuted Threads, a text-focused social app designed to piggyback off Instagram’s infrastructure and user base. The app had more than 30 million sign-ups as of Thursday morning, according to Zuckerberg. In a July 5 cease-and-desist letter addressed to Meta CEO Zuckerberg, a lawyer representing Twitter said that Musk’s company had “serious concerns” that Meta “has engaged in systematic, willful and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property.” The letter said that “Twitter intends to strictly enforce its intellectual property rights, and demands that Meta take immediate steps to stop using any Twitter trade secrets or other highly confidential information.”

As Twitter faces a significant new challenge from Instagram offshoot Threads, CEO Linda Yaccarino is defending her turf.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has unleashed its frontal attack on Twitter, the social network controlled by Elon Musk. On Wednesday (July 5), Meta’s Instagram launched Threads, described as a “text-based conversation app.” The app is available in Apple’s App Store for iOS devices and in Google Play for Android.

Lauren Jauregui is sharing her opinion after Elon Musk set viewing limits on Twitter. The former Fifth Harmony member feels that it’s not a “coincidence” that the Tesla founder is implementing these changes as the U.S. prepares for another presidential elections cycle.

Elon Musk is continuing to turn the Twittersphere on its head.

 according to DownDetector. As of 1 p.m., there were over 7,000 outage reports regarding the website.Some users flagged issues that included being unable to retrieve tweets, or the error message, «Sorry, you are rate limited. Please wait a few moments then try again.» Rate limits increasing soon to 8000 for verified, 800 for unverified & 400 for new unverified https://t.co/fuRcJLifTnElon Musk, who took over the platform in 2022, tweeted around 1 p.m.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg seem to be moving forward in their proposed cage fight, and the Tesla CEO even suggested that they hold the fight at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor On Friday, Twitter — without notice — suddenly blocked access to the website for anyone who isn’t signed in as a registered user. Many people were confused about the change, wondering whether it was a glitch or a purposeful move on the part of Twitter, which is under the control of mega-billionaire Elon Musk. Previously, you could search Twitter and view tweets without needing a registered account. But now, visiting any Twitter page displays a log-in prompt instead. Musk, in a post Friday afternoon, claimed that Twitter took the step to improve performance on the platform after third-party companies were “scraping” data and overloading its systems. “Temporary emergency measure,” he tweeted. “We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!”

Could Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg face off at Italy’s most iconic landmark?

Musk tweeted early Friday morning. He added a video of the Colosseum fight from the Monty Python movie “Life of Brian,” with the quip, “Need to work on my endurance.”The post came after the government of Italy contacted Zuckerberg with an invite to the legendary battleground, TMZ Sports reported.Both the Italian Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano and the ministry itself are on Twitter, but neither have posted about any discussions taking place that would pit the two high-profile CEOs against each other in the ancient amphitheater.The invite comes after Musk, the owner of Twitter and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, agreed last week to fight Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms, last week.

Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, is being criticized after declaring that the words “cisgender”and its abbreviated form, “cis,” are slurs that will be barred from the social media platform.The term, which refers to individuals whose gender identity matches their assigned sex at birth, has been viewed controversially by many of those to whom it refers. They argue that their identities should not be defined relative to transgender individuals.Musk made the declaration on June 20 in response to a tweet from James Esses, an Irish right-wing media figure, who claimed that transgender activists berated him with the word, which he both ideologically rejects and believes is a slur.Esses’s claim to fame is that he was expelled from a therapist training course after sending a public petition to his school, requesting they change how they view gender dysphoria to “safeguard therapy and counseling” for children.Esses now uses his social media channels to speak out against the idea of gender dysphoria and deny the concept of transgender identity, and advocates for bans on puberty and hormone blockers for children. “Yesterday, after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word ‘cis’ and don’t wish to be called it, I received a slew of messages from trans activists calling me ‘cissy’ and telling me that I am ‘cis’ ‘whether or not I like it,'” Esses complained in a Twitter post.

UFC president Dana White insisted Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are “dead serious” about fighting one another.

We’ve seen a lot of celebrity spats play out online. Trash talking, jabs, shade. They usually don’t actually get to the level of an actual physical fight! But then again, we suppose neither Elon Musk nor Mark Zuckerberg have anyone around them anymore to tell them this is a bad idea! LOLz!

Elon Musk somehow found himself a part of the story after it was reported that Starlink was used to communicate with the submersible. After Musk slammed the rumors, saying there was no connection, he found another reason to make headlines - challenging Mark Zuckerberg, who trains jiu-jitsu, to a cage match.It all started on June 20th when it began circulating on Twitter that Zuckerberg’s META has been working on an app that would be a competitor of the controversial site.

50 million people watching in the U.S. alone. “There’s no limit on what that thing can make,” White told TMZ, adding that the fight would cost a person $100 to watch.
